SDS is that you? is this motivation patch 1.6 ?

@CEZdominatesAD said in Too many complaints. Years ago there were no updates. Stop crying:

The new generation of gamers cry and cry and cry. So sad. I’m 35 and been gaming forever. This needs to be patched that needs to be patched. Imagine playing games and some one disconnects and doesn’t get the loss cuz he was winning (mlb the show on ps 2) What about when u would kick a fg in madden people could unplug and replay the Ethernet cord and [censored] up the connection. How about having to play all of the horrible NBA live games that were painful to play?
Stop crying and win games.

So, are you saying people should just spend there hard earned cash like good little sheeple and don’t report gameplay issues ? Not sure what your point is.... I’m glad people point out flaws in the game, in the end it can make for a better game ...

@j9milz said in Wanna know what I love about this game?:

My favorite is when playing the cpu and how alert and urgent they are when throwing the ball in. Yet my outfielders take their time and throw lobs with 90+ arm strength. Lol

Lol that’s funny... The lack of urgency drives you crazy sometimes... THROW THE EFFIN BALL!!!

Pitching hitting duel is what baseballs is all about, you gotta get that part right... Not saying fielding or base running isn’t important, it is, but the pitchers hitters duel is super important... Pitching accuracy should be improved

Real life baseball game as much as possible, with user control of course being a big part, but hitting should be a simulation, higher rated batters should make a difference even when squaring up... Pitching should be accurate, higher rated pitchers even more accurate...

Directional hitting feels like real baseball, that’s how it is when your batting for real, timing, try to hit the ball where they aren’t, bat on ball ... When you use directional hitting sometimes they miss even with perfect timing, so it’s not some huge advantage, it just feels more like real baseball... I can’t stand trying to line some curser up with the ball, it feels like an arcade game doing that .... I say leave all options available for how someone prefers it ...

bolded text@theu715 said in Randomized hitting.:

How about fixing pitching? The randomness of pitching has made things even worse. Go back and play MLB 17 or even 18 and see how many times you hit your spot and the pitch goes middle middle or hangs up a ton when you’re throwing below the zone. Hitting will always be somewhat random, but pitching should be 100% user input based as far as pitches going to the location you’re throwing to.

Truth ... Pitching in 19 is a step back from 18, random meatballs even with perfect placement is annoying... 18 that didn’t happen..

@ZABEN2583 said in Post Here If...:

...you DON'T use the PCI. I never have, as I find it distracting. I think I'm just old school. However, I am curious who else doesn't.

I only use directional hitting, It’s more like real batting... when you’re actually hitting in real baseball you don’t have some PCI thing to line up, it’s bat on ball, timing.... PCI makes it so cheesy in my opinion ...

Shame they had the fielding good in 2019 for the most part, no reason to go backwards in 2020...

@tylerslikewhoa said in This game defense is an absolute joke:

If you play better you will notice that you won't have any issues.

Playing better won't overcome programming errors...

@seminole22_PSN Your TV might not be on Game Mode cause I know when it’s not on game mode for me the meter goes much faster and harder to hit I have LG OLED HDR if it’s not that then I duno I haven’t noticed it being faster to pitch with Meter after Patch just contact hitting is more Nerfed

Thank you. I think that's it. I just bought a Sony Bravia 80j Olded. And switching to Game Mode looks like it works.

Thank you.

Yeah man, some TV’s can really lag if not in game mode, makes it almost unplayable …

Lol. I found out the hard way.

@rikstarr1970_xbl said in Errors need to be addressed:

I have noticed that the computer outfield never makes an error. That had me a bit puzzled as well. And I have had an issue with recently my infield is having trouble here and there making double plays. I’ll field the ball throw the ball to second and mt second baseman will just hold the ball then throw it to first after the runner is safe. Has anyone had this issue. But it only just started happening.

Yes, sometimes they also throw it really slow to first, like a gentle lob so the runner easily makes it to first …

@chi-town-wonder said in MLB THE SHOW 21 LATEST PATCH ISSUES:

I've had like 8 freeze offs since patch. Before that I had 1 maybe 2.

Is this playing online or is it freezing offline as well ?

@ikasnu_psn said in Bring back Online Franchise for 22, or I will...:

@kwikpoppa_psn said in Bring back Online Franchise for 22, or I will...:

All true but I was only talking about the best way to do a franchise with custom teams Offline franchise with good settings is definitely, in my opinion the way the die hard honest ballplayer goes . Since introduced to playing internet I havent played franchise since 16

Not even worth it imo. Playing vs CPU is extremely boring.

SDS has always done a good job making the CPU a challenge… I enjoy playing on the higher levels vs the CPU …

@foxfire1545_psn said in MLB The Show 22 Ideas:

How about everything they have taken from the game since 16 put back.
Career statistic rewards, after game reward cards, 8 cards in a pack and original pack prices, etc etc...

I still play franchise in 2016 … LOVE that version …

@wargazsem_psn said in PS4 to PS5:

@aemerced03_psn said in PS4 to PS5:

I have a PS4 version of the game and I plan to buy a PS5 console. Do I have to buy a PS5 version pf the game to activate create a stadium or can I just transfer my existing game to PS5?

If you get tired of looking for a PS5 let me know. I have several for sale

Why do you have several for sale ? Tell me you’re not doing the scalping thing and screwing over other gamers….

@ikasnu_psn said in Bring back Online Franchise for 22, or I will...:

Do absolutely nothing about it.

Or you'll get addicted to DD like the rest of these mooks.

I have zero interest in playing All Star team vs All Star team all the time … Franchise will always be where it’s at!!

The Show blows Madden out of the water … I wish SDS could make a football game, because they’d kick EA to the curb … As far as the game this year, it’s not perfect, but it play’s pretty dam good in offline franchise…

@superpumper1_psn said in Field of Dreams:

That's really cool they are gonna play a real regular season game on the field from the movie field of dreams. Cornfield in Iowa. Yankees-Whitesox Aug 12th

Wow, that is cool, hope they show the game nationally … Great idea by MLB
